This specimen was lot 1163 in Jean Elsen sale 134 (Brussels, September 2017), where it sold for €650 (about US$1,200 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,
"BRABANT, Duché, Marie-Thérèse (1740-1780), AR demi-couronne, 1755, Anvers. D/ Croix de Bourgogne entre quatre couronnes. R/ Ecu couronné de l'impératrice sur une aigle impériale. Très Beau à Superbe. (Austrian Netherlands, duchy of Brabant, Maria Theresia, 1740-80, silver half crown of 1755, Antwerp mint. Obverse: Burgundian cross between four crowns; reverse: crowned arms of the empress supported by the imperial eagle. Very fine to extremely fine.)"
Belgium, long a part of Hapsburg Spain, was awarded to Charles VI of Austria by the Treaty of Utrecht which ended the War of the Spanish Succession. Fortified by the Dutch and constantly menaced by the French, the Austrians quickly discovered Belgium to be a worthless addition to their domain. This type was struck in 1755-79 during the reign of Maria Theresia and Francis I (KM 20). It replaced the half ducaton in 1755. The Austrians lost Belgium to Revolutionary France in 1797. After the fall of Napoleon in 1815, Belgium passed to the king of the Netherlands.
Recorded mintage: 403,000 (including KM-20, struck in the name of Francis I).
Specification: 14.72 g, 0.873 fine silver; this specimen is 14,76 g.
Catalog reference: W. 1130; Delm-389; V.K. 177, KM 19.
